Prizes and Awards

About

In uOttawa’s bid to increase its research intensity and international recognition, research and teaching prizes and awards are becoming more and more important. Awards such as these promote a culture of research excellence and raises the visibility and profile of the institution and researchers on the national and international scene. Gaining this recognition strengthens the appeal of uOttawa as a first-class institution for study and research and encourages careers in research/academia.

The Faculty of Medicine Research Office staff provides assistance to investigators, research teams and educators in identifying relevant awards and prizes and preparing applications, as well as coordinating nominations with key stakeholders within and external to the University.

The objective of the award is to recognize educators of exceptional quality, driven by their passion to advance and share knowledge. Candidates must distinguish themselves with both an outstanding teaching record and a solid research program.

This is a career achievement award that honours and recognizes an exceptional researcher in the area of health services and policy research who has created a seminal body of work that has had a substantial impact on health services and policy research, policy and/or care delivery.

The Killam Prizes are awarded to active Canadian scholars who have made a substantial and significant contribution to their respective fields in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences or engineering.
